Among Canada’s Aboriginal communities there is an untapped potential to significantly increase agricultural production. In many cases good quality agricultural lands is not being utilized productively.
A reason for this is that the level of knowledge of agricultural practices, science and business is generally inadequate. The Society wants to address this need by providing good quality and accessible
education and training that will result in more successful aboriginal farms and in turn increased employment and more prosperous, self-reliant and healthy communities.
